A reader of the ''Field and Farm"
at.Greeley is answered thus: "There
is plenty of information afoat IN re-
gard to the management OF wet lands,
and lands under irrigation but sell
dom hear of a remedy for dry lands
without water. l should like soma
suggestions on that" We will say
to our friends, put your pIow down
twelve inches deep, and if it is wheat,
alfalfa, or oats YOU plant, run your
roller over the land after seeding. If
it is corn You are growing, keep the
cultiyators and the hoe going con-
stantly. Most any land will grow
corn in this country if treated in this
way.
a lady who was resorting at Pc
tokey. Mich, put PHOSPHORUS on her
6union the other night and retired.
In the night the husband spicd the
glowing thing, and sized it up for a
iiretiy banged it with the bootiack.
She never speaks to him-now with
out punching him with the crutch
which she has since been obliged to
wear.
Bent county has had very favo-
able season thus TAR his year. Thou
sans CT acres have been cultivated
fully one-halt of which has been
without irrigation, and we have yet
to hear of the first failure of crops,
except where In very few instances,
the land in the river bottoms were
submerged by floods. The new
farmers who came in were expecting
only moderate yield The indica-
tions so far, however, show that crops
viii be firstclnss in every portion of
the country. Colorado is the finest
country on earth, and Bent county is
the brilliant that flashes in the mag
nitieent corona of the state.-"La

As hard a rain fell on Sunday af-
ternoon as we have had this summer.
The ground was thoroughly wet
down to a considerable depth. These
recent rains have mado the corn
reach an extraordinary highth, and
every day gives greater assurance of
a magnificent yield .-Granada "Ex-

We have in oat afiice specimen
of wheat raised on tna far. IS George

have yet seen the present season.
Mr.. Perkins says it is hybrid of his
own producing, which he has named

course it Is not ripe yet, but the
heads are large and remarkably well
filed, aud with good stand ought
to yield at least thirty-fve bushels
per acre.
a report from Lamar says that so
numerous are the applicants at the
land officers desiring to file on public
land, that they have to stand in line,
each taking his turn to be waited on.
This indicates that immigration to
that part of the State is coming in
very rapidly; and at this rate it will
not take long TO fill up the eastern
part of Colorado with settlers. Soon
they will be pushing westward into
the mountain parks and beyond the
range. This is the year in which the
people of Western Colorado should
make every experImen-necessarY 10
show, if possible, that land in their
part of the State may be cultivated
without irrigation.-"Denyer Repub-
